Revolutionary Dual-Port Design and Integral Drain Allow for Less Invasive – Non-Surgical – Draining of Serous Fluid
- Designed to mitigate key risks associated with breast expansion and ultimately reduce reoperation rates
- Only tissue expander with an integral drain providing direct access to the periproshetic space where fluid can accumulate
- Allows for diagnostic fluid sampling to enable a faster treatment response

The unique feature of the AlloX2 provides surgeons easy access to the periprosthetic space without altering any of the other characteristics of a tissue expander. While one does not plan to experience a postoperative complication, a valid question in light of the availability of the AlloX2 is why one would forego utilizing a device that facilitates treatment thereof.

Managing the Risks of Post-Operative Fluid Accumulation

Obesity (BMI >30) and use of an Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) have been identified as major risk factors for seroma4
- ~40% of adult patients in the US are obese5
- An ADM is used in over 60% of breast reconstruction cases6
![infection-icon Infection Icon](https://sientra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/infection-icon.png)
A seroma increases the risk of major infection in breast reconstruction patients
- Risk of infection is 4x higher in patients who develop a seroma4
- Risk of expander loss caused by infection is 6.7x higher in patients who develop a seroma4
![woman-icon Woman Icon](https://sientra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/woman-icon.png)
Clinically relevant infections with poor salvage rates occurred in nearly 1/5 of seroma patients (18.8%)4
With current standard of care, 78% of infections require explantation4

AlloX2 Improves Salvage Rates & Clinical Outcomes10
Retrospective review of 112 consecutive patients
- 63 patients (53.6%) Mentor Artoura
- 49 patients (43.7%) AlloX2
- 173 breasts with smooth tissue expanders (2016-2017)
AlloX2 Stats:
- 8% seroma rate
- All successfully drained in clinic through AlloX2
- 1 patient’s aspiration tested positive for MRSA which allowed immediate antibiotic intervention and salvage of reconstruction without explant
100% Surgeon Satisfaction Using AlloX211
In a clinical study with 40 primary reconstructive patients, the AlloX2 was deemed successful in treating seromas and should be considered a tool for noninvasive treatment of common complications of tissue expander-based breast reconstruction.
